Samuel Beckett Silence Quotations

Where I am, I don't know, I'll never know, in the silence you don't know, you must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on

Nothing matters but the writing. There has been nothing else worthwhile... a stain upon the silence.

Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.

I shall state silences more competently than ever a better man spangled the butterflies of vertigo.

Silence and darkness were all I craved. Well, I get a certain amount of both. They being one.

I could not have gone through the awful wretched mess of life without having left a stain upon the silence.

Silence, yes, but what silence! For it is all very fine to keep silence, but one has also to consider the kind of silence one keeps.

Where am I, I don't know, I'll never know, in the silence, in the silence you don't know, you must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on.

POZZO: I am blind. (Silence.) ESTRAGON: Perhaps he can see into the future.

To restore silence is the role of objects.

Don't look for meaning in the words. Listen to the silences.
